rear breaks?

How do you change the rear breaks on a renault megane 2004
david, May 2009
Assuming this vehicle has discs and pads.
Support the vehicle and remove the rear wheels,
**REMOVE THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR CAP**
*Undo the two 13mm bolts securing the calliper, Remove the calliper and support so you dont damage the pipes,
*Remove the old brake pads
*Clean the surfaces of the pad guides
*Using a calliper windback tool - retract the piston back into the calliper
*If you are changing the discs, Remove the cap from the centre of the hub, Remove the 32mm nut
*Remove the disc and replace
*Refit the nut and torque to manufacturer settings.
*Rebuild as opposite of removal - using a little amount of copperslip on the metal edge of the pads (the parts that sit against the pad guides)
*Refit wheels + Reservoir cap etc
*Slowly pump the brake pedal - not right to the floor- until the pedal becomes hard.
